[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baseball.  From a technical perspective it’s requires the most skill at the varsity level. And it’s sneaky dangerous with a higher number of injuries than most other sports.  [/quote]

This is laughable.  My DS made varsity baseball at his school his senior year on a whim.  It was a team that won states consistently.  He's a great athlete and was playing soccer and ice hockey.  Never played baseball before other than pick up.  Coach was surprised to hear he hadn't been playing club all along. [/quote]

Just about every elite athlete agrees that baseball is the most difficult.  It’s almost universally agreed.

That doesn’t make it the physically toughest sport. Yes, hitting a baseball is uniquely difficult—and perhaps the single most difficult skill to master in all of sports. It requires a blend of hand eye coordination, pattern recognition and body control.

But that doesn’t make it the physically toughest.

And for as difficult as hitting. A baseball may be, the rest of the sport is not nearly as difficult or physically demanding. Pitching and catching excepted. [/quote]

It’s really not that hard to hit the baseball…it’s getting a base hit.  It’s not as though people strike out 7 of 10 times.

Again, this question is on youth sports.  The best hitters on our HS team are batting .600+.  [/quote]

Most varsity pitchers at the top DMV schools would absolutely embarrass any parent who stepped in the box.  It’s incredibly hard to even touch a baseball moving 88+ mph with just a slight bit of movement.  Anyone hitting .600 in high school is not facing serious competition.  The best hitters in the WCAC are in the .400s.  [/quote]
